According to The Bhutan Live, a new online platform called Naykap Gokab has been introduced in Bhutan to promote regionally unique ideas and solutions.
The platform links investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to foster opportunities for investment and collaboration. The web application, which was created by a group of young software engineers in association with the UNDP, DHI, and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Employment, intends to support Bhutan’s innovation ecosystem.
A team of four young people created the website. According to The Bhutan Live, Naykab Gokab was conceptualised by four young people in their twenties: Tandin Tshewang, Jigme Lodey, Kuenzang Choden, and Thinley Dhendup.
More than 80 registrations show individuals’ interest so far in the platform. The guest speakers praised the web application for its distinctive strategy for bringing regional innovators and investors together, offering them a chance to present their work and look for funding for their initiatives.
Naykap Gokab’s founder, Tandin Tshewang, stated, “In the past, even when people had creative ideas, they didn’t know where to communicate them. People can quickly sign up and share their thoughts using a web application like this one. That way, their ideas will be accessible to everyone, and they will have access to mentors. Additionally, this will aid in their search for investors.
The Bhutan Live claims that the website is user-friendly and straightforward to use, making it available to investors as well as innovators. But according to the developers, they won’t stop there. To further accessibility, they intend to create a mobile app for the website in the future.
“Tandin Tshewang said, Our current goal is to make the website as stable as possible so that users don’t encounter any problems, according to Tandin Tshewang. However, as time passes, we plan to create a mobile version for the website, which will increase accessibility to the platform”.
According to the Minister of Industry, Commerce, and Employment, the platform is anticipated to foster a climate of cooperation and investment that will be advantageous to both innovators and investors. According to The Bhutan Live, this is expected to fuel innovation and economic progress in Bhutan. (ANI)
